Kakha Kaladze: The European Commission is well aware of the crimes committed by the individuals referred to as “arbitrarily detained” in its 2026 Enlargement Report; certain ambassadors were involved in the misfortune that was unfolding in the country

Tbilisi Mayor and Georgian Dream Secretary-General Kakha Kaladze believes that the European Commission is well aware of the crimes committed by the individuals referred to as “arbitrarily detained” in its 2026 Enlargement Report, whose release it is demanding.

Speaking to journalists, Kaladze said that examples from European countries clearly demonstrate how seriously the act of throwing so-called Molotov cocktails at police officers is regarded.

“They themselves know very well what crimes these individuals have committed. Look at the examples of European countries: when police officers were targeted with Molotov cocktails, how did the police respond, and how is this criminal offence classified? In Georgia, the opposite was happening: these developments were being encouraged by certain individuals and organizations that benefited from European funding. Certain ambassadors were involved in the misfortune that was unfolding in the country over a certain period of time. They not only failed to condemn violence but, on the contrary, encouraged such incidents and facilitated the creation of violent and extremist organizations. These were shameful actions that we witnessed, for example, on the part of certain diplomats,” Kakha Kaladze said.
